Contrails dissipate quickly whereas chemtrails linger?

Contrails over London in 1944

Vapour trails left by British bombers on route to attack flying-bomb sites encircle the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. London, 1944.

All those who passionately believe that "contrails dissipate quickly" whereas "chemtrails linger" and are deeply offended by the sceptical position that TNRA takes in regard to these claims, are free to "unlike" Truth News.

If, on the other hand, you would like to engage in rational debate, you're most welcome to do so.

However, please be advised that the information I have to impart may be shocking and difficult to grasp if you have been a "chemtrail alarmist" for a long time.

The often cited claim that "normal contrails dissipate quickly" is total bunkum.

There is not a shred of science to backup that claim.  Nothing, nada, zippo!

Those who promote this idea are simply repeating something they read on a web page without checking sources.


 

CONTRAIL SCIENCE

For a contrail to form, suitable conditions must occur immediately behind a jet engine in the expanding engine exhaust plume. A contrail will form if, as the exhaust gases cool and mix with surrounding air, the humidity becomes high enough (or, equivalently, the air temperature becomes low enough) for liquid water to condense on particles and form liquid droplets. If the local air is cold enough, these newly formed droplets then freeze and form ice particles that make up a contrail.

Because the basic processes are very well understood, contrail formation for a given aircraft flight can be accurately predicted if atmospheric temperature and humidity conditions are known.

After the initial formation of ice, a contrail evolves in one of two ways. If the humidity is low, the contrail will be short-lived. Newly formed ice particles will quickly evaporate. The resulting contrail will extend only a short distance behind the aircraft. If the humidity is high, the contrail will be persistent. Newly formed ice particles will continue to grow in size by taking water from the surrounding atmosphere. The resulting line-shaped contrail extends for large distances behind an aircraft. Persistent contrails can last for hours while growing to several kilometers in width and 200 to 400 meters in height. Contrails spread because of air turbulence created by the passage of aircraft, differences in wind speed along the flight track, and possibly through effects of solar heating.

Thus, the surrounding atmosphere’s conditions determine to a large extent whether or not a contrail will form after an aircraft’s passage, and how it evolves. Other factors that influence contrail formation include engine fuel efficiency, which affects the amount of heat and water emitted in the exhaust plume.

TNRA is informed by science and is not interested in propping up anyone's belief systems, and we don't apologise for that.

But, please, don't take it from me, speak to any meteorologist or any pilot and they'll tell you straight, that there is HUGE variation in the length and persistence of contrails. Sometimes they don't form at all, other times they form, but disspate quickly, other times they persist and spread out.

That's the facts folks, and it's been that way since planes first went up in the sky.

If you believe otherwise, I'm afraid you've been conned.

Forgive me if I seem rude or impatient on this topic, but every few months I come across a new wave of people who have been subjected to the same false propaganda about chemtrails, and I have to run the same arguments and cite the same articles over and over again. It does wear one's patience down.

Before making some kind of angry reply, I urge you to read this article and associated links. It's fairly detailed, and deals with most of the usual claims made by chemtrail alarmists.

Finally, let me qualify all this by saying that I do not doubt that geo-engineering programs exist, and that, indeed, some of the patented techniques discussed at international forums  include the creation of artificial cirrus cloud. Does this, however, entitle you to conclude that every spreading contrail you see is an example of such geo-engineering?

Think about it.

you going to put up some proof that a 757 hit the pentagon or are you going to run away again?

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 04:29:33

“Most believers claim that trails that don’t dissipate quickly are chemtrails. Countering that claim is indeed a very legitimate argument against chemtrails.”

another one of your lies shit head..  im sure if people want to go through this thread, they will find a lie in just about every one of you comments ..

show me some proof where most people say that a persistent trail must be a chemtrail.

then show some proof that because some trails may persist, that means there is no such thing as chemtrails

then show some proof that a 757 hit the pentagon.. you ####### stupid lying cunt

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 04:34:52

whats wrong? did you run away again? gutless cowardly liar… pfffft

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 04:35:42

you pretend this website of yours is some sort of portal to truth, clearly another lie

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 04:37:45

josh anonymous says..

So, Wayne Hall, no comment on the article? Not even a tiny one?

but when commenting on the article, directly quoting from the article, pointing out its stupidity.. josh has nothing to say..
thats because he doesnt like truth, he has no answer to truth, and prefers to lie
his inconsistency and hypocrisy and lies are rife throughout this poor excuse for a debunking article.. the only thing debunked here is this websites legitimacy, and the funny thing is they do it all themselves

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 04:55:46

your pathetic silence says it all.
you have nothing but lies.

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 05:02:22

Another of the lies by Hereward Fenton (if that is his real name) whereas he claims:
“All those who passionately believe that “contrails dissipate quickly” whereas “chemtrails linger” and are deeply offended by the sceptical position that TNRA takes in regard to these claims, are free to “unlike” Truth News.

And Fenton claims not to take sides in any debate!
Anonymous Josh, and Fenton, could view this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_xl5-yN5Ts&feature=youtu.be and let us know if they can tell that the aircraft videoed is not at high level as it is flying below medium level cloud. Can Anonymous see it or does he need a telescope or binoculars as he claims we all must. Observing aircraft in flight for most of my life I can tell whether or not an aircraft is at 15,000 feet or 30,000 feet and I don’t believe I am on my own there.

By Leonard Clampett on 2014 12 11 - 06:50:38

Thats a damning video Leonard…

fenton also says, “

Hi, this is Hereward Fenton, founder of Truth News Australia.

Do you often feel confused about what’s really going on in the world? I certainly do!”

well fenton, it is patently obvious youre confused, perhaps its time you got a proper job, instead of spreading your idiotic confusion - aka LIES - all over the place.

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 08:30:28

Andrew Adams…what can I say?  You are a certifiable piece of work!  You make accusations about this site but don’t provide any proof to support what you claims.  If you don’t like the message, just vote with your feet and don’t visit tnra.  But leave others to decide for themselves based on the fact which are presented.  You must be totally miserable and I feel sorry for you.

By Proform on 2014 12 11 - 09:33:14

ohhh Proform to the rescue is it? :D - josh hiding behind your skirt? he had to call in the cavalry did he? - pathetic

You make accusations about this site but don’t provide any proof to support what you claims.

any and all accusations i have backed up dickhead, if you werent dropped on your head when you were a baby by your fat clumsy slut of a mother, your comprehension issues wouldnt stop you from seeing the obvious.

the people who fail to back anything up here, are demonstrable, the ######### that run this pathetic dog and pony show.

maybe you can help them out a little genius, and post some evidence that shows a 757 did indeed hit the pentagon, im sure theyd appreciate all the help they can get, like you, they need it

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 11 - 11:36:38

Andrew Adams,

you have written: “Much easier to take out dickheads like Glynn on the ground

In the context of your aggressive and extremely foul language this can be very well perceived as a threat. That’s why I wrote:

Are you aware that you just confirmed his concern?

There is no lie in that.

I am not in the least interested in what you think happened on 9/11. It has no relevance in the contrail discussion.

The trails that are visible day in - day out in the sky look and behave exactly like contrails, as studied by Appleman in 1953.
So far, nobody has shown anything new that would overthrow 60 years of contrail research. There is only assumptions and misinterpretations.

All your screaming, ranting and bad-mouthing does not change that. Why don’t you provide real evidence instead, if you have any? Leaving out the insults, if you can manage?

yes dickhead, and taken in context, obvious i was saying much easier than aquiring a ####### ground to air missile launcher ya lying cunt. if you really believe its a threat, ring the ####### cops wanker, 

In the context of your aggressive and extremely foul language this can be very well perceived as a threat. That’s why I wrote:

There is no lie in that.

confirmed his concern? lol - quick! call the ####### cops them shit head!

I am not in the least interested in what you think happened on 9/11. It has no relevance in the contrail discussion.

ohh right, the fact that you lie, has no relevence.. i think the fact that you lie about events of 9/11, while pretending to be a truth site, is very relevent #######

The trails that are visible day in - day out in the sky look and behave exactly like contrails, as studied by Appleman in 1953.
So far, nobody has shown anything new that would overthrow 60 years of contrail research. There is only assumptions and misinterpretations.

your unqualified opinion of what i see, when you dont even know what im looking at, can not rule out all chemtrails shithead

All your screaming, ranting and bad-mouthing does not change that. Why don’t you provide real evidence instead, if you have any? Leaving out the insults, if you can manage?

im not screaming cunt, i do this purely for whimsy.. you asking me for evidence? youre the one making all the claims cockhead, no such thing as chemtrails, no plane hit the pentagon.. how about you provide some proof shitstain? thats all im asking, you back up what you say.. what a stupid cunt you are

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 12 - 09:46:40

ohhh .. my bad..  i asked you for some proof of what you are saying, how silly of me, i should have realised it is impossible for you to provide any evidence to back up anything you say because you have none, there is no evidence for lies…

have you called the cops yet?  ########

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 12 - 11:09:26

have you called the cops yet turd gobbler?  no? why? because youre a ####### liar.. right? right.

Nobody can say on which level that plane was flying, except maybe the person who held the camera. We don’t know the place, the date, the zoom level, in fact we are not given the slightest details about the video in the description. The fluffy clouds are semi-transparent, so we can’t even say for sure if they were above or below the plane.

All we hear is the usual Dane-Wigington-sermon, and how he is fundamentally misinterpreting a video showing an aerodynamic contrail.

By Josh on 2014 12 13 - 01:29:46

I have said earlier:

Please point out specifically where I lied.

Andrew Adams replied:

you accused me of making threats against retarded glynn..

Can you quote precisely what you think is the lie?

By Josh on 2014 12 13 - 01:37:00

dickhead
you know precicesly what the lie is, you pretend i made a threat. if you really think that is true, you would call the cops? have you? no.. because you are a liar..

you also pretend that people who come here are not concerned with the fact that you lie, you call it irrelevant.

you want to tell the truth/ try admitting that i have made no threats, and try posting some evidence that a 757 hit the pentagon, otherwise go #### yaself moron, no one cares for any of your stupid childish lies.

you dance around continuously.. how about just answering a question for once?

try this.. Can you show any specific evidence that proves a 757 hit the pentagon?  - if not then why should people believe anything this website says?

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 13 - 04:40:07

call the cops FLICKHEAD and show them the specific threat! :D
what a moron.. 

lame arse cunt censorship of the word f.u.c.k.  ..  you idiots are pathetic, you know what is more offensive than a word you hear every day ... your lies..

By Andrew Adams on 2014 12 13 - 06:07:13

if i said it would be easier to steal a car that was left running with the doors open, than one with no motor in it, josh anonymous would say it was obvious i was out to steal your car.

the level of desperate deception and distraction that this f.u.c.ktard will stoop to, knows no bounds..

the prick coulnt even lie straight in bed..

RECLAIM AUSTRALIA IS DOOMED

Although I agree with many of their ideas, the forces reigned against RAM are too great, violent, statist and reactionary for them to remain a non-political, broad based, multi-ethnic, community protest group for much longer. The Left and their Antifa nihilist fellow travelers are already pushing them towards the extreme Right, by calling them racists and Islamophobes and so on. Whilst the extreme Right have aligned themselves with RAM. With fascists of the Left and Right pressuring them they will not be able to remain beyond the Left-Right divide and will inevitably move to the Right - the extreme Right. Which is already happening. A development which will alienate decent Australians of all ethnic backgrounds many of whom currently support them. 

The RAM leadership have already established open alliances with the Patriotic Front (the ape in the photograph is a Patriot Front supporter at a recent Richmond demonstration) Australia First and Golden Dawn, a Greek neo-Nazi party. Members of these collectivist groups are currently attending RAM demonstrations all over Australia.

There is a real need in Australia to establish a political movement beyond the Left-Right divide and their vested interests, a movement that questions the current direction Australia is heading i.e. the direction the Left/Right and their extremes would like to take it; that questions the efficacy of state sponsored multiculturalism, as opposed to a proper, non-discriminatory immigration policy; that questions the validity of political correctness; that is politically neutral, anti-war and pro environment; that is opposed to all collectivists ideologies (fascisms of the Left and Right); that would dismantle the power pyramids of corporations and banks and their ability to impact on government; that would dissolve all anti-terror laws and all laws that impose on the rights and freedom of the individual and the people.

Hello there I am so thrilled I found your web site, I really found you by error, while I was searching on Digg for something else, Anyways I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a incredible post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don韙 have time to go through it all at the minute but I have bookmarked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the great work.

I second Keith’s assertion that Mike Holt from Restore Australia is very much a fake.  He bangs on about Halaal being a scam and money maker for Islam (and no I don’t support Halaal whatsoever), but makes excuses for its counterpart Kosher as being a somehow legitimate.  Double standards?  When I confronted him about this fact he went off on a convoluted tirade about Israel being some sort of “Bastion of Democracy” in the middle east…Really!, I will leave that one up to the readers to decide on.  I found that MH came across as disingenuous to say the least.

Without doubt, TNR is one of the best, if not the best alternative news source on the net. Which doesn’t mean Herewood is always right. His job, I believe, is to present the facts as he sees them as an objectively as possible, without fear or favor.  For this, he has my respect and support. But I believe he needs to be careful and to think a little deeper about the problems of “racism,” in Australia. He has labelled the Reclaim Australia Movement as racist. I’m wondering if his objectivity is a little weak on this point, a little without foundation.

Of course all political movements have its fringe groups and individuals. We make a distinction between, for example, a Muslim and a fundamentalist Muslim (Islamist), and by so doing we don’t claim that all Muslims are blood thirsty fanatics. If its good for the Muslims, then its good for RAM, which is bound to attract a few lunatics and real racists. But to brand the entire movement as “racist” is wrong; it is the same ploy that is used by the mainstream media and its left-wing, establishment Marxist boot boys.

One of the first things I noticed when i attended a RAM rally recently were the amount of non-white people in attendance, including Aboriginals. In fact the main banner of RAM contains an Australian flag and an Aboriginal flag. Speakers at their rallies have included Jews, Arabs, Indians, Aboriginals, Chinese and so on. What does this tell you? Is this really a fascist-Nazi-racist movement whose stated aim are the eradication and exclusion of other cultures, in place of some sort of Aussie white Reich, or is this just propaganda that is being propagated by the left for their own political interests. Consequently, we all know where the culmination of their politics have led, historically speaking, which are to the imposition of terror and dictatorships.

We can be thankful for small mercies, in terms of the Left, which today mostly tends to attract collectivists, establishmentarians and the privileged sons and daughters of the upper bourgeoisie, who seems to share one thing in common, nativity….

Mike Holt from Restore Australia is very much a fake.  He hasn’t even been citizen for but a few years.  But, he makes out like he was born there.  ALSO - this guy spent 30 years in Thailand working shady businesses.  I would wager that his primary purpose in being an activist is that he wants to make money off selling merchandise.

good to see you putting out some new shows heraward

freely the banana girl is to a certain extent a troll, as is her boyfriend durian rider. they have been trolling the fitness community on youtube for some time… and yes they are extreme but they are also trolls. They use their trolling to spread their message. currently, another dude called vegangains is trolling the fitness community as well.

i am a vegetarian, and it was seeing this documentary on the pork industry that started me on the vegetarian path. for anyone interested, its pretty off the charts disturbing and its australian as well. its pretty much made by dudes breaking into pork farms and filming what they find

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KArL5YjaL5U

Would the world be better if people cared where their food came from? probably, they might then care about other things too

do you become a better person if you dont eat meat? i feel like a better person mainly because animals aren’t being hurt because of me. i dont feel humans have to eat meat really… or at least not much. How can you watch that documentary on pork, know that that is pretty much whats going on and turn a blind eye to it? I think its basic empathy and just saying well ‘i like bacon so yeah’ is in my opinion wrong and i can see freleys point of view to an extent. In my opinion, at least these people believe in something. i see my money as my vote, henceforth im ethical as to what i do with it. free range eggs became mainstream for exactly this reason… although im pretty sure woolies and coles lobbied the state to change the definition of the word ‘free range’ at some point. I dont eat beef because the amount of resources that go into growing a cow are pretty crazy. Think about how much grass that cow needs to eat before it is harvested and how much space it requires. think of how many vegies you could grow in the same space with the same amount of water. lamb? comon, think about what your doing here… but that being said i think most vegans are total loons. People like freeley should be advocating for the destruction of lions and tigers, as lions and tigers murder other animals in truly horrific style. if we humans are smart enough to not harm animals, then we should be stopping the animals that harm other animals from existing. Freeley also kills birds when she flies in aeroplanes so she is a hypocrite.

feminism is one of the biggest problems in society today and although there is some valid historical basis to it, the liberation of the human female from their biology is in my opinion largely a product of the technological advance of humans. sufferagettes where never machine gunned on the streets, unlike the men that where drafted and sent off to war to die just a few years earlier. as technology has advanced, women have advanced as well, however now its going way too far and is pretty blatantly anti male in many respects. i view feminism in its modern context as a tool of the social marxists that really isnt doing society a great deal of good at this time. its screwing up gender dynamics and is wrecking women and men for each other. i see it as low frequency, lowest common denominator idiocy, just like a lot of the the race baiting ‘is this racist’ stuff getting around that is being perpetuated pretty much as a distraction, divide and conquer strategy by the power elite. idiots love this kind of bicker and beef… it would be funny if it wasn’t so serious

anyway

I agree with steven friar. gods a maniac

good show… keep making them

Almost two months since the last broadcast! How the hell can you expect people to donate when you don’t broadcast? Looks like the ship of truth has sprung a leak. This broadcast has been part of my life almost since its inception…it is one of the few alternative news sources that hasn’t gone off the deep end, by dilution credible information with crap e.g. Fairdinkum Radio and Info Wars…Pittard started FR with some incredibly interesting material, but then he flipped…Today he sounds like a fundamentalist preacher, the Christian equivalent to a Fanatical Islamist. As an atheist, I think he’s really ###### up a potentially good show. As for Info Wars, all they would have to do to improve is dump Alex Jones, what a shit-for-brains. I reckon Jones and Pittard are allowed to proliferate, because they’re so stupid and harmless. I suppose they have some entertainment value, and along with David Icke are living examples of how low the alternative media has sunk. Truth News Radio is, or should I say was, way ahead of them all ahead of them all in terms of credibility How sad that its come to this.
